Once again no mention of The Amazing Race. Is it being held to replace a 
failing new
CBS show or is it history?

Subject : RE: [TV orNotTV] CBS Fall Annotated

 Based on Dateline, the usual about new shows and times--the convolutions are 
due to CBS' half of Thursday Night Football:
MONDAY8-8:30 PM — The Big Bang Theory8:30-9 PM — YOUNG SHELDON (N) (Special One 
Time Preview Sept. 25)In which we learn how Sheldon Cooper became the geek we 
know and love every week on CBS, up to four times a day in syndication and God 
knows how many times a day on TBS.  Jim Parsons narrates the one-camera (!) 
sitcom, Iain Armitage is young Sheldon and Laurie Metcalf's daughter Zoe Perry 
is also in the cast (a disheartening reminder for Chicagoans like me to 
remember that longtime Steppenwolf Theatre Company ensemble members now have 
grown children).  Jon Favreau directed the pilot and Warners still owns 100%, 
like they do "Big Bang"--sorry CBS.8:30-9 PM — 9JKL (Premieres Oct. 
2)Surprisingly, the only multi-cam sitcom on the fall schedule (and what Pamela 
Fryman of "How I Met Your Mother" directing, it may be a "hybrid" show that 
shoots multi-cam except for special sequences and either brings in a studio 
audience to view the finished product and records their response or says the 
hell with it and brings in the laugh track man--"HIMYM" did both in its run).  
It's based on star Mark Fuerstein's actual life, where after his divorce he 
moved into the same building as his parents and in-laws and sat back waiting 
for the sniping to begin.  Elliott Gould and Linda Lavin play the parents, of 
course.9-9:30 PM — Kevin Can Wait9:30-10 PM — ME, MYSELF & IThis one-cam sitcom 
bounces back and forward in time to tell the story of one man as a teenager in 
the 90s, a middle-aged man today and an old fart in 2042.  Bobby Moynihan's the 
lead as today, John Larroquette's the Moynihan of the future and characters 
from various points within are played by Sharon Lawrence, Brian Unger and 
Jaleel "Urkel" White, among others.10-11 PM — Scorpion
8-8:30 PM — Kevin Can Wait (Starting Oct. 30)8:30-9 PM — 9JKL9-9:30 PM — ME, 
MYSELF & I  (Starting Oct. 30)9:30-10 PM — Superior Donuts (Starting Oct. 30)10 
-11 PM — Scorpion
TUESDAY8-9 PM — NCIS9 -10 PM — Bull10 -11:00 PM — NCIS: New Orleans
WEDNESDAY8-9 PM — Survivor9-10 PM — SEAL TEAMDavid Boreanz in a military 
procedural whose subject is right in the title.10-11 PM — Criminal Minds
THURSDAY8-11 PM, ET/ 5:00-8:00 PM, PT — NFL Thursday Night Football (Premieres 
Sept. 28)8-8:30 PM — The Big Bang Theory (Starting Nov. 2)8:30-9 PM — YOUNG 
SHELDON (Starting Nov. 2)9-9:30 PM — Mom (Starting Nov. 2)9:30-10 PM — Life in 
Pieces (Starting Nov. 2)10-11 PM — S.W.A.T. (Starting Nov. 2)It wouldn't be a 
CBS fall schedule without a reboot, and here's one of the 70s cop show, 
controversial in its time for its heavy violence, about the special LA police 
unit.  Shemar Moore takes over from Steve Forrest as Hondo--and don't forget 
that theme song!
FRIDAY8-9 PM — MacGyver9-10 PM — Hawaii Five-010-11 PM –Blue Bloods
SATURDAY8-9 PM — Crimetime Saturday9-10 PM — Crimetime Saturday10-11 PM — 48 
Hours
SUNDAY7-8 PM — 60 Minutes8-9 PM — WISDOM OF THE CROWDYou bought Jeremy Piven as 
a douchebag Hollywood agent.  You even bought him as the pioneering owner of a 
British department store.  But will you buy him as a Silicon Valley 
entrepreneur who develops the ultimate crime-fighting apparatus, in the second 
adaptation of a format from the Israeli network Keshet on the fall schedule 
(along with NBC's "The Brave")?  Monica Potter's also in the cast.9-10 PM — 
NCIS: Los Angeles10-11 PM — Madam Secretary
The mid-season shows:
INSTINCT--Alan Cumming plays a former CIA op called in by the NYPD to catch a 
serial killer in an adaptation of a James Patterson book that isn't even out 
yet.  Khandi Alexander, who we haven't seen in a while, is also in the cast.BY 
THE BOOK--Now here's a multi-cam sitcom:  Based on the book by A.J. Jacobs "The 
Year of LIving Biblically," it's about a newspaper movie critic who, after the 
loss of his best friend, tries to be a better man by following the exact 
dictates of the Bible.  You know there's going to be "begat" jokes aplenty.  
Jay R. Ferguson, free after "The Real O'Neals" got cancelled, plays the 
critic--Camryn Manheim plays his mother, I assume, Johnny Galecki of "Big Bang 
Theory"'s the trophy producer.
Only one network to go--take it, Brad.
